This response generates two thoughts for me:

1) version control can be used as a notebook, if you use a good
directory structure and excellent commit messages. In fact I use it
that way for myself (granted, I don't run a biolab, but most of the
analysis he describes would fit what I do, e.g. always move forward,
are very simple, the changes are obvious, etc) -- big plus: I don't
have to remember yet-another-password and learn yet-another-tool, in
fact I don't use dropbox at all.

2) testing -- this is particularly important to me. In fact I think
that as soon as one has learned ifs, fors and functions, before trying
to do anything else, one must learn testing.

Cheers,
Dav
